EUR/USD Technical Analysis 1 February 2010

Euro/Dollar was under pressure on Friday, in search of support, after news that tightening the monetary policy in China may derail global economic recovery, and damp trading appetite. The Euro dropped from 1.3985 to 1.3865, closing the week at 1.3857. Our expectation remain in favour of the Dollar for now. Convincing break bellow the nearest support and this morning's bottom 1.3854 may trigger stronger downward momentum towards next objective 1.3766. In upward direction the nearest resistance is represented by Friday's top at 1.3985, and next resistance at 1.4095 is the upper limit of the bearish channel formed on the 1 hour chart. Break above it may seriously threaten the bearish perspectives and lead to further recovery of the Euro. Quotes move below 20 and 50 EMA for now, signaling for weak Euro. Negative, but increasing values of CCI and MACD suggest upwards correctional pressure. RSI entered the overbought zone, supporting the Dollar. Overall, technical indicators give mixed picture.Technical resistance levels: 1.3985 1.4095 1.4190Technical support levels: 1.3854 1.3766 1.3670
